FYI: Status of Koni Sports

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...highlight=koni

Updated today. 7 of the first 10 sets are spoken for... those first 7 + the next 3 get free shipping. Ordered 4 more sets too, but those won't get the freebie shipping.

And I hear they are actually on the way stateside. Hope to see them in the within the next 4 weeks. Hopefully customs doesn't think they are dangerous....

I hope I have them and the sway bar in time to use the 2/26 SCCA event to dial them in, 3/9 for real practice before 3/16 for Dixie!

1 set left with free shipping/and on the very first shipment. 4 sets left w/shipping, arriving about 1-2 weeks after the first batch shows up.

Nope, part of they deal is that they are stocking parts, meaning they have to be shipped in bulk to my shop. I hope the ETA is right, if not sooner.

Do you have a dyno on hand? I'd love to see how matched (or unmatched) a set of 4 really are.

I've never worried about it. I've pretty much won all my Championships, both National and ProSolo on box stock off the shelf Koni's. Nothing production is every 100.00% the same unit to unit, including our engines, tires, etc. I really see no reason to bother. But I'm sure if you wanted to pay for it Koni would be happy to do it.

I saw TIC received theirs and they aren't too far away from PA. Does this mean Sam will have his to ship to us very soon (I hope!)?

I will call Koni tomorrow. I'm guessing mine are in transit, as I am back from CA.

10 sets rolled in the door today. All 10 sets are, and have been sold. 3 more sets are due soon... and I have an order for at least one of those sitting on my desk as I type this.
